APP REVIEWS FROM THE T3 APP CHART

iPad app review: Back to the Future Episodes 1-5 In a rare game that pays homage to a movie rather than smears its memory, the Back to the Future series for iPad will leave you feeling like you've experienced a genuine new chapter of the beloved movie franchise rather than feeling like you've somehow cheated on Marty and The Doc. The highlight could be Episode 5's chase between two Delorians with some overboard action thrown in for good measure.

iPhone app review: Garmin UK & Ireland Garmin has brought its timeless fight to the death with TomTom to a new battleground by launching a rival Garmin for iPhone satnav app. It's £10 cheaper than TomTom's App Store offering, but according to our reviewer is less polished and lacks as much detail. The verdict? If you're used to Garmin, then buy this app.
